Creating an Objective-C equivalent Getter and Setter in Swift
Your assumption was close, but a few things could be changed. I will try to help you get as close as possible to the Objective-C version.
First of all, the nonatomic
and assign
are irrelevant in swift. That leaves us with
@property (getter = isOpen) BOOL open;
Since properties in swift are just instance variables, the swift translation would be as follows.
var open:Bool
Although this has the same basic functionality as the Objective-C version, it is lacking the named getter (isOpen
). Unfortunately, there is no direct translation to swift for this (yet). You could use a custom getter and setter.
var open:Bool {
get {
// custom getter
}
set {
// custom setter
}
}
A rather crude work around would be to make another function literally called isOpen
that would act as a getter.
func isOpen() -> Bool { return self.open }
In conclusion, what you are asking is only slightly possible, but hopefully in later releases of swift can become a reality.
var open: Bool {
@objc(isOpen)
get {
// custom getter
}
set {
// custom setter
}
}
Leads to this generated header:
SWIFT_CLASS("_TtC11SwiftToObjC9TestClass")
@interface TestClass : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, getter=isOpen) BOOL open;
- (nonnull instancetype)init OBJC_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER;
@end
